BARBERS PAPER AND CHECK.

Application filed September 9, 1915.

To all whom t may concern:

Be it known that I, ALEXANDER J. AN- DREWS, a citizen of the UnitedStates, residing at Portland, in the county of Multnomah and the Stateof Oregon, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in BarbersPaper and Checks, of which the following is a specification.

The head rests of many barbers chairs now in common use are providedwith ro-lls of paper adapted to be drawn over the head rests to protectthe customers for sanitary reasons and the paper from the rolls is to betorn olf in sections so that each section may be used for depositing thelather Waste.

The present invention relates to such paper for head rests of barberschairs having a cashiers check formed therein and an object of theinvention is to provide a check for each section of such paper tofurnish an accurate and economical 'system of bookkeeping for eachbarbers chair in every shop.

The preferred means by which I accomplish the objects of the inventionare illustrated in the accompanying drawing forming part of thespecification which will be hereinafter specilically described.

In the drawings, Figure 1, is a plan View showing a portion of the stripof paper from the roll. Fig. 2, is a plan view of one of the sectionssevered from the strip of paper upon which the lather waste isdeposited, and Fig. 3, is a plan view of one of the cashiers checkssevered from the section of the strip of paper.

Referring to the accompanying drawing like and corresponding parts aredesignated by similar reference characters throughout the several views.

In Fig. l, of the drawing is shown a strip of paper forming part of theroll adapted to be carried by the head rest of the barbers chair. Thisstrip of paper is shown divided into three sections each being indicatedby the numeral 1 and each section is provided in the upper left handcorner thereof with a cashiers check 2. In practical use the rolls ofpaper are carried by the head rest of the barbers chair and the strip ofpaper is drawn over the head rest to protect the customers head and oneof the sections of the strip projects beyond the toothed lmife carriedby the head rest so that each section may be severed from the strip.When each section is severed from the strip that section is used by thebarber to deposit the Specification of Letters Patent.

waste lather thereon and the check 2 is given `to thecustomer who latergives the same to the cashier of the barbers shop when paying for theservices rendered him. Each check has marked thereon the number of thechair from which it comes and the number of the check. This affords acomplete book-keeping system for the cashier as the number of occupantsto each chair can be readily ascertained. j

When a customer seats himself within the barbers chair one section ofthe-paper projects from the head rest of the chair and when the barberis ready, it is torn off and used for the lather waste of the customerseated within the chair. When the barber has finished this j ob on thecustomer he then takes a pencil and marks on the check 2 of thefollowing section which is still held firmly in place by the head restthe amount of the work just finished. Then the barber pulls out or runsout the strip of paper sufliciently to sever the check along the line 3and immediately severing the entire check, handing the same to thecustomer just linished. When the neXt customer is seated the sectionprojecting from the head rest is torn along the line 4 and that sectionas shown in Fig. 2 of drawings is used for depositing the lather wastefrom the customer seated Within thechair. By so constructing theV stripof paper it is obvious that only a short line indicated by the numeral 5is perforated therefore the strength of the paper is not impaired. Itwill also be noted that no additional paper is necessary to form thecheck other than the strip forming the ordinary rolls now in use andthat each section when attached to the strip will completely cover thehead rest providing the usual sanitary cover therefor.

Vhereas, I have shown and described a simple and preferred means forcarrying out the invention it is to be understood that no limitation isnecessarily made to the precise structural details therein exhibited,but the right is reserved to anv changes or modifications that comewithin the scope of the invention without departing from the spiritthereof or sacrilicing the efficiency of the same.

Having fully described my invention, what I claim as new and desire tosecure by Letters Patent is z 1. The combination with a strio of paperfor the head rests of barbers chairs comprising a plurality7 ofSections, a Check formed integrally in one corner of each Section andadapted to he severed therefrom, for the purpose set forth.

2. A barbers paper and Cheek comprising a roll of a. Continuous Strip ofpaper, said strip being divided into a plurality of sections adapted tobe Severed, an integrally 'formed check Within one corner of eachseetion, the inner ends of said cheeks adapted to be severed from theseetione, and one edge of the Cheek being perforated for the piu'- poseof facilitating' its detachment from the section.

'3. A barbers paper and cheek consisting of a roll of paper comprising aplurality of sections adapted to be severed from each other, a cheek'formed integrally Within one corner of eaeh section having one endthereof adapted to he severed :from the section in which it is formed,and one edge of the check being perforated.

In Witness whereof, hereunto subscribe my nalne to this specification inthe presence of two Witnesses.
